Sieboldi Viburnum

Siebold viburnum (Viburnum sieboldii) develops stiff, upright branches and an open canopy that can be trained as a small tree. Creamy white flowers are followed by fruits that change from red to black.

Its structure combines upright growth and an open canopy. Growth is moderate. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring purple and red tones.

Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide well-drained soil. Choose a cooler summer climate and avoid prolonged dry conditions.
